Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer

Jesus, Draw Me Ever Nearer
(words by Margaret Becker, copyright 2001)

Jesus, draw me ever nearer
As I labor through the storm;
You have called me to this passage,
And I'll follow, though I'm worn.

May this journey bring a blessing,
May I rise on wings of faith;
And at the end of my heart's testing,
With Your likeness let me wake.

Jesus guide me through the tempest
Keep my spirit staid and sure;
When the midnight meets the morning,
Let me love You even more.

Let the treasures of the trial
Form within me as I go --
And at the end of this long passage,
Let me leave them at Your throne.
